***Montrealer Ghislain Poirier is obsessed with big dirty beats, which is why he creates ragga-style riddims and deconstructed abstract hip-hop. He has collaborated with Beans (Warp), Shockout labelmate DJ Rupture, TTC (Big Dada) and Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) and remixed tracks for UK sensation Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), Les Georges Leningrad and Pulseprogramming. "Dem Nah Like Me" is a companion to Poirieris new full-length, Breakupdown, out now on Chocolate Industries. Poirier, just back from a North American tour with Lady Sovereign, has also been busy on the DJ circuit, moving peopleis asses with his own DJ night in Montreal, La SoirEe Bounce le Gros. This new 12-inch for Shockout (his third release for the label) pairs Poirier with the talented Mr. Lee G (Ethiopian Taste), a Trinidadian and Brooklyn emcee with a deep, convincing flow. Poirier brings two new riddims out: iRoad Ride Riddim,i a hip-hop, ragga-style beat, and iEast Montreal Riddim,i an experiment in UK grime (more like a Quebecois response to the Forward Riddim). No doubt, this is a banger!
